Nooooooooo! s***. That hurts... Epsecially since we are fighting for that number 1 seed. But I guess the important thing is for him to take as much time as he needs to recover, as long as he is fit and ready by the time the playoffs roll around , thats all that really matters.

In a 2005 study published by the journal Nature, researchers at Durham University in England concluded that, across a range of sports, we found that wearing red is consistently associated with a higher probability of winning. The researchers also suggested that red's effect may subconsciously intimidate opponents in athletic contests, especially when the athletes are equal in skill and strength.

But now is the time to step up for the other guys and seize the opportunity. Datsyuk becomes the go-to-guy and I guess we'll know what he's made of. Although, most if not all of the games he could miss the next few weeks are gonna be at home.

We'll be okay. As an upside, it'll give Filpulla and Hudler more time to play big minutes, and Ellis and Hussey looked very good last night as well. This will be good experience for all of them, especially the former two.
